Variegated Minneola?

I saw one of the most beautiful picture of a variegated Minneola Tangel. Not only variegated leaves, but fruits too. Does anybody here own one and can tell about your experience with this variety?

    do you have experience with this variety? does nor grow well? Ordered one anyway ;) I think would look pretty next to my bariegated lemon

    I have heard about it and several here have it - I think Mike does. I already have a huge minneola, so I don't think I'll pursue that one. I love the look of variegated foliage, but Steve is right. As long as you don't mind, I think it is a beautiful tree. Show us a pic when you get it!

    Yes I will post picture for sure. What I really like is that the fruits are green striped during growing and a deep orange striped when ripe. Valencia is loosing its stripes and I think the cara too. Time will tell. I'm getting a bit bigger tree so should not be too long before I see any fruits

    Susanne, What colors are in your leaves? I just got one from Harris today and there is no white coloring. Is your tree just two-toned green?

    Denise it did not survive the winter. My fault not Harris. Give it some time, trees are young

    Susanne, I am really happy you responded. I saw the pictures when you first received with your other 2 in September, 2017, and yours already had the white in it. Mine has absolutely none. Ruth could not guarantee that it would get white as it aged. A 3 gallon is at least 3 years old and shouldn't it have any white at all already? I just don't know what to believe. At this point I wish I hadn't ordered it.

    Denise, here is mine. Let me grab a pic and show you. Got mine from Ruth too and it has grown a lot bigger since!

    Shoot, looks like I can only post from my phone and I can't get on to this forum until someone post again so I am notified in my e-mail then I can grab pics off my phone.

    Could you please post a picture of when you got it and a current one? My totally green one has me all in knots. lol. I really really want one with white that produces orange with red stripes. I have talked to some citrus experts and they couldn't give me any definitive answers how it will grow in the future.

    Susanne, it was so pretty ;(

    I look forward to your pic, Mike. Hope this helps. Guess what I did with my variegated pink lemon cuttings? I could help it... they're in a glass of water trying to get some roots. too pretty to toss.

    Yes Susanne's tree was a 5 gallon too. What a shame to lose it.
